| ITEM 8. | IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF MEMBERS OF THE GROUP |
The Reporting Persons previously filed a joint Schedule 13G, as subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 thereto, due to the fact that they may have been deemed to be a “group” for purposes of Sections 13(d) and (g) of the Act, as Mr. Cheng and Ms. Liu had agreed to certain voting arrangements in connection with certain shares held by Steady Prominent Limited and Xiaocheng Investments Limited. These arrangements ceased to be effective on April 8, 2024. Therefore, Mr. Cheng, Ms. Liu and Steady Prominent Limited will no longer make joint filings for purposes of Sections 13(d) and (g) of the Act. In addition, this filing constitutes the final amendment filing for each of Ms. Liu and Steady Prominent Limited.
The filing of this statement should not be construed to be an admission that any member of the Reporting Persons are members of a “group” for the purposes of Sections 13(d) and 13(g) of the Act.
